The correct answer is B. The Supreme Court's decision in the Brown v. Board of Education case declared that segregated public schools were unconstitutional.

Explanation:

In 1954, the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education formally abolished racial segregation in the US educational system, but it would take a while before real racial segregation had been abolished, especially at universities. At the same time, the verdict became very important for integration in elementary and college level, and paved the way for the black civil rights movement in the United States.

The verdict in the Supreme Court under Earl Warren's direction was unanimous (9-0). It referred to the rights in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The judgment repealed the laws and judgments of the states where they allowed racially segregated schools, and rescinded Plessy v. Ferguson from 1896.

The case started in 1951 with the black family father, welder and pastor Oliver Brown leading the class action against the school board in the city of Topeka. The case formally concerned the right to enroll the children at white schools that were closer to home than black schools. NAACP attorney Thurgood Marshall followed the case throughout the appeal process, while black lawyers George E.C. Hayes and James Nabrit brought the case to court.
